You cut a small section to fit the stand off, fit the shock onto it and then fit your nut. Dont over tension as you will cause binding. Works a treat. After changing about 6 sets of shock caps in a short period of time, i went to fuel tube and didnt need to change another set. Alot of people do it. Alot cheaper than buying shock bushes also.
What exact fuel tubing type and size? This issue is happening to me now. I'd rather use something that lasts. My shock bushings are really sloppy right now.
